This post is a bit of a warning. There’s a group on Facebook that claims to be a teaching group for witches (Witchy Witch Teaching Circle). It’s a pretty normal group most of the time. The admin, however, was found giving bad advice. When questioned about it, she blocked at …

I’m in a lot of Pagan Facebook groups where Pagans of all traditions can come together to celebrate, grow, and learn. A question that pops up time and time again in these groups is something along the lines of How do I know if I was born a witch? If …

Let’s talk about hygiene. I specifically mean spiritual hygiene. It’s important to maintain a healthy spiritual practice. I see a lot of people in other groups who ask about dark energies and seem to have a stream of bad luck. Quite often, they seem to think they’re hexed or …
